~~ downbear What people do in their free time is their own damn choice. As long as we live in a world where you have to pay money for the place you live in, people will struggle to make ends meet, and they will various solutions to this. Punishing one of these because they do not agree with your puritanical worldview is reactionary.~~

~~If anything we should fire all teachers who practice MMA*. The US is way too comfortable with violence and way too uncomfortable with the human body. Kids TV can show all the violence it wants (as long as there's no blood and gore) but god forbid a nipple shows up. This is not a recipe for a healthy society. If you think a place to start with healing the American rot is with the schoolteachers, then tackle this weirdness about violence. Also let them wear net tops.~~

I don't actually believe this

m not sure that's a good general principle, because otherwise we could for example forgive slavers on the basis that they're finding a way to make ends meet.

wtf-am-i-reading You're comparing sex workers to slaveowners.

I'm not puritanical, I don't have an issue with people engaging in whatever they want to do in that regard provided it isn't harmful or exploitative.

And.

But children are a special category of person, you can't and shouldn't treat them like adults. Teachers are also a special category of person, because they work with children.

You are here contradicting yourself. You are here saying that you do mind what people do even if it isn't harmful or exploitative. You are the only person bringing children into this - the teacher isn't making porn with kids. Teaching and OnlyFans are only connected in the sense that its the same person doing both. You're acting like there's some sort of unholy corruption attached to making OnlyFans that will gradually infect the mind of the teacher and then hurt the children. This is puritanical brainworms.

Certainly I agree about violence too - but then most sports taught at schools trend toward decreasing violence for this reason. Those that don't aren't good. Two bad things don't make a good thing.

Fuck you. This entire response of yours has been you attempting to move the frame of discussion. Piece of shit behaviour. Get better. Blocking you for being a dumbass and a bad debatebro.

Its rather that once something like this comes out, the whole community will know. There's also a potential that children could access whatever pornography is being advertised. I don't think its contradictory - once its public knowledge, it becomes potentially or actually harmful.

Further, I do think that what people do has the potential to affect their mind - how they see things and behave. This is true of soldiers, or abbatoir workers, for example.

Apologies for making you angry, it wasn't intentional.
